God Will Change Your Spirit

Financial pressure is your deal. You’re going, “Whoa, financially, I don’t know what to do.” A lot of people these days are running around thinking that they’re me-made instead of God-made. If you think you’re me-made instead of God-made, if you think you have your stuff and it’s not God’s stuff, then I challenge you to do this, this, and this. Then you’ll see that there’s a big difference between your needs and your greeds. Then you’ll see that you shouldn’t get into impulse buying, or purchasing things just to impress others. You’ll see you’re to budget your money, to spend some, to save some, and to give some. You’ll have a proper perspective on your finances. You’ll discover you’re a manager, not an owner. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will infiltrate your financial realm and stress will subside.

Maybe occupational stress is your deal. Maybe you’re saying, “Ed, I work for someone, and their jerk quotient is up to here.” You know what? Life is full of jerks, that’s just part of it. And you can pray about this jerk, and once you pray, you won’t call him a jerk, or her a jerk, any more. God Will Change Your Spirit about the person. You’ll see that this person matters to God. You’ll see ultimately that you’re not working for this person, you’re working for the Lord. You’ll discover that the market place, your work, can become an act of worship before God. You can see that the way you handle this stress from this person influences others around you. God will massage it out through prayer, through thought, through living. He’ll be glorified, the stress will subside, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will envelop your career. That’s what I’m talking about.
